This is the first thing I have ever heard from this
band and I can easily say I am more than just a little impressed. I was
expecting just another melodic death metal band strictly by looking at the
cover as well the title being "Evil as Hell'. There are not many power
metal bands with titles like that…:). What I got however was more than just
a basic melodic death metal romp but more of an equal mixture of death and
thrash metal. And all of it surrounded by some excellent songwriting.

This album has the melodic death in the speed and
aggression but it comes more in the realm of thrash with its use of melodies
and some pretty kick-ass breakdown sections. The musicianship is well above
average with some killer riffs as well as some really excellent leads. The
vocals remind me slightly of a heavier version of Tom Araya from Slayer
and trust me when I say this is a good thing. The only complaint I would
have with this album is that at times the snare drum has this annoying popping
kind of sound. It's not all the way through the album but you will be easily
be able to hear when it does happen. This is me really being picky however
as I think the album is excellent as a whole.

I have heard and read quite a few derogatory
comments about this album but to be honest I really don't understand why.
I don't have any of this bands previous works so I cant really compare them
to what they were like in the past but this album as a whole I found to
be excellent. This should easily appeal to the fans if melodic death and
thrash metal genres. Highly Recommended.
